The other owner’s signature is usually required on both the contract and the deed, so one-sided agreements tend to collapse. Keep an eye on the court case as well, because the sale may need a judge’s approval.
Harrison County buyers also miss deals by misjudging equity. Look at the mortgage, any home equity line, and recorded liens up front, since both spouses need proceeds left after closing.
